If you're someone who owns a cat, then, at one point or another, you probably tried to train your cat to do something. We've all seen those amazing video of people who have trained their cats to do amazing tricks, so we try. And for the most part… we fail. Cat training has a tendency to go wrong. You try to train your cats to do one thing, and somehow, things turn around completely, and your cats end up training you to do whatever they want exactly how and when they want it. 

Still, cat training fails are hissterical, and we love seeing them. So, it's no wonder that this hilarious video of a man attempting - emphasis on attempting - to harness train his cat went as viral as it did. It just goes… entirely predictably.

    It doesn't matter how many times we hear about different variations of this story… actually seeing it always makes us laugh. Even though it's ocmpletely predictable, seeing this cat fall like that is still so unexpected. Every single time. We can't help but love this.

    "Training my cat to wear a harness"

    It always starts so well, right? You know it won't be the easiest thing in the world to get the harness on your cat in the first place, but you finally manage to do it. Then, they're just lying there, and you think "this might work", and then, of course, it doesn't.

    Font - Jambohh 4 days ago edited 4 days ago My cat loves wearing his harness & cries at the door to be taken out, as soon as he is outside he meows constantly & is afraid of every thing then has to be carried back inside. He loves the Idea of being outside more than actually being outside. Reply Share 3.6k

    Font - Just Dandy07. 4 days ago In the video game Stray, you play as a cat. You get a vest at one point and this is what happens, it's hilarious. He then gets up and he walks funny for about 10 seconds until he adjusts to it. Reply Share 159

    Font - BlaqSam 4 days ago My 2 daughters have a cat and put a harness on them and both of them just flopped like that. Took them to the mall for Pet pictures with Santa, the Dogs were all excited and the 2 cats were just dragged on the floor because they refused to walk. Reply Share 68

    Font - 571 54pip 4 days ago It always starts like this. Treat the cat as if the harness isn't there. Nothing's different. Get that toy they can't resist and start playing. If they like to be carried around like a baby, carry them around, like a baby with the harness on. After a few 15 minute sessions of this put harness on and take the baby outside, they won't care a bit. The outdoor magic will take hold and kitty will want to explore. 12 Reply Share

    Font - ep1032 4 days ago Mine flopped on his belly, then proceeded to dramatically act as if he couldn't walk, sliding on his belly and flailing his legs like a fish out of water as he slid around the kitchen floor. The moment i took the harness off he magically regained his ability to walk. He also made a huge show of how tight it was pinching his leg and neck.... Despite it literally falling off of him because the holes were 2x his size, because i hadnt even zipped it in place Reply Share 6

    Font - Makuta_Servaela · 4 days ago My cat learned how to walk in the harness just fine after a few weeks, but every time he was alone with my mom, he'd play all pitiful and cat like he was lame because she'd always take it off and yell at me for torturing him. But as soon as her back was turned, he was back to being able to walk and run fine in it. 4 Reply Share
